A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 393 Rescue_1 Chapter 527: Chapter 393 Rescue_1 It has to be said that when Duanmu Huai learned of the situation from Sho, he was rendered speechless.

“So, the Maginot Line can't hold anymore?”

“As it stands, yes. We need your help, sir.”

“Oh? What do you need me to do?”

“This is the situation… The Royal City can no longer be defended. A large number of Second Class Citizens have flooded into the city. It's simply impossible to resist the invading Demon Army under these circumstances. Therefore, King Gandhi is requesting everyone relocate to the Fortress City.”

“The Fortress City… wasn't that only recently started?”

If Duanmu Huai remembers correctly, the construction of the Fortress City has just started and it's not even been a month. That would hardly be enough time to lay the foundation, let alone build a city, wouldn't it?

“Thanks to your suggestion.”

Speaking to this point, Sho's previously gloomy face showed a trace of a smile.

“Those Second Class Citizens, after learning they could become First Class Citizens if they worked hard, were filled with fervor. They've worked tirelessly night and day. Coupled with the assistance of Magicians, the Fortress City is beginning to take shape at present. While a major portion of the work has yet to be completed, the basic functionality of the fortress is more or less ready. Despite the lack of defense facilities such as the Sorcerer Cannon, with Magicians on hand, we can resist the Demon Army's invasion to a certain extent.”

Of course, another reason is that amidst this nationwide commotion, the area surrounding the Fortress City has remained calm. On the one hand, it's considered a military project and everyone working on it is prohibited from leaving before its completion, naturally they're unaware of the situation outside. Furthermore, these willing Second Class Citizens are working hard for a better future and wouldn't be foolish enough to join any disturbance.

Moreover, the construction of the Fortress City has taken up most of the young labor force in the area. So even if the remaining elders, weak and disabled wanted to cause a riot, they wouldn't make any significant impact.

In addition, as a precautionary measure, initially, King Gandhi had assigned the Ice Legion, one of the Kingdom of Seth's main military forces, to garrison the Fortress City. Consequently, they are now the only unscathed legion within the Kingdom of Seth that has neither been involved in rebellion nor in battle with the Demon Clan.

Given these circumstances, King Gandhi was overjoyed and hastily ordered the remaining people to move towards the Fortress City – when constructing the Fortress City, one major consideration was to avoid a situation like that of Lisas. As such, the Fortress City was positioned closer to the inland, on a crucial transportation route, so if the Fortress City could be defended, at least a third of Seth's territory could be secured!

“So, what did King Gandhi ask you to come and find me for?”

“The Royal City can't be defended anymore, so King Gandhi hopes that you can help evacuate the civilians.”

“Me?”

“Yes, His Majesty's intention is to have you assist… Ms. Majeko.”

“Oh, you mean Princess….”

At this point, Duanmu Huai instantly recalled the spectacled girl with the large forehead.

“Indeed. According to the information, Ms. Majeko is currently in Paris Academy. After Second Class Citizens instigated the rebellion, the military and security teams have been busy suppressing the riot hence lost contact with Paris Academy. Though it's assumed Majeko is safe, His Majesty still worries a lot. However, due to state affairs, he neither has the time nor the personnel to handle this, hence King Gandhi hoped that you could assist…”

“Hmm……..”

Hearing Sho's request, Duanmu Huai pondered for a while. Generally speaking, he was reluctant to involve himself in such troublesome matters. However, considering the princess helped him become a Demon Beast Trainer, he made a decision.

“No problem, leave it to me.”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Paris Academy is equally tense.

“Prepare… Fire!”

Majeko stood by the window, shouting orders loudly. With Majeko's command, the students by the window immediately raised their hands.

“Ice Arrow!”

“Flame Arrow!”

“Lightning Arrow!”

Accompanied by the girls' cries, streaks of magic radiated from their palms shooting downwards. Faced with the incoming magical attack, the hooligans screamed in fright and hastily retreated.

“Phew……”

Seeing the hooligans retreat once again, Majeko breathed a sigh of relief, then she raised her hand.

“Immediately lock all exits, don't let them in!!”

“Yes!!”

Hearing Majeko's command, several students promptly carried out her orders. However, Majeko looking outside, has a grave expression on her face.

Frankly, Majeko never expected a riot to break out in the Royal City. Fortunately, Paris Academy is located quite a distance from the city, thus it didn't get caught in the crossfire immediately. The downside is that when the news arrived, Paris Academy had totally lost contact with the city. Majeko couldn't reach her father King Gandhi and most of the teachers at Paris Academy had also fled, leaving only the students.

Left with no external support, the only plan Majeko could come up with was organizing the students to carry out the defense. Luckily, the students in Paris Academy are all First Class Citizens and basically all of them knew magic. Even though most of them had not undergone military training, few hundreds of students releasing magic at the same time is quite intimidating.
